The central project of collaboration between Kastafsko kulturno leto and the Kombinat creative collective is initiated in 2014 with the goal of implementing a participatory artistic creation during the exhibitional week of KKL 2014. The goal of the project is to include local population and visitors of the city of Kastav in the realization of this project, and also to include them in the consummation of contents following the exhibitional programme. The project is focused around the locations of the historic town core in the city of Kastav. With the creative interventions on the locations of historical meaning the city spaces are being reactivated and, with the open invitation to play, new possibilities are being made for future inscriptions in the city tissue. With this kind of exhibitional programme, which is stepping outside in the streets of the city to play, everyone is being invited to this creative intercourse which is here to question and open now, unforeseen possibilities. Different interventions in the old historic core of the city will be based on the historical and culturological exploration of the local stories and legends. The result of these activities is building a web of alternative stories about the local history. Chosen points, the specific locations in the city, will be visually marked and will become playing positions in the urban game of history. Innovative visual solutions will, in an educational and amendable way, help reinterpret the historical content. In a very important part, the programme is answering the needs of a new generation (it’s visual and multimedia segment), which doesn’t make it less appropriate for the rest of the city public. For the entire duration of the project, and with its ending, the city of Kastav will be mapped, and become a center of artistic intervention practices of the regional creative industry and different types of media that they will be using (photography, illustration, design, video, audio segment).

v Film Festival is an international film festival that encourages the opening of public spaces and freedom of expression by providing projections of all submitted films, without selection. In 2008, a group of male and female students from the Cultural Studies in Rijeka explored the possibility of creating experimental cultural projects based on freedom of expression, collaboration and non-hierarchical structure. A year later, it was decided that it would be the project of a film festival. After the funds were secured, it was chosen that the place of the whole happening would be Kastav. The organization of the festival was difficult because of the large student protests in which almost the whole organizational team was involved. However, the first edition of Kastav Film Festival was declared a success, after which the talks on the possibility of holding a regular festival begun.
In 2010 the second edition of the festival was held and some technical improvements were brought. The number of submissions, compared to the first edition, were significantly increased as well. The third edition of the festival was marked by the launch of the Manifesto, which finally determined the concept of the whole project. The Manifesto attracted an outstanding interest on the independent international scene, which led to many submissions from the whole world. In 2012 concerts were introduced as part of the festival programme and cooperation with the local community was enhanced as well. Last year, the festival hosted more than 150 films.
play JaTiOnoMi is realized with the help of the Ministry of Social Policy and Youth, in cooperation with the theatre ActLab from Zagreb. The play deals with the theme of child’s adoption, while exploring all aspects of the process of adoption through appropriate theatrical language and a story adapted for children and younger age. On the 7th Festival of Croatian Drama for Children Mali Marulić, which was held in Split in April 2014, the play received a special jury prize for its socially engaged content, as well as the award for best performance by a cast and the award for best theatrical text.
Mala Scena is one of the leading Croatian theatres for children and young people, based on number of performances as well as the number of awards which their plays have won domestically and abroad. The founders of the theatre are Vitomira Lončar and Ivica Šimić. Since 2005 the theatre focuses exclusively on the production of plays for children and teenagers (2-16 years old).
